python-vipaccess

python-vipaccess is a free and open source software (FOSS) implementation of Symantec's VIP Access client. It is able to generate OATH URIs and their corresponding QR codes so any TOTP-generating application can be used as a VIP OTP token.

Right now, it only supports the bare minimum number of features of the VIP Access provisioning protocol to work, but I might add support for the other features at some point in the future.

You can see my original blog post here, in which I describe how I reverse-engineered the VIP Access application.
